Hi Kazuro,

Jeff Hill has already commented on your modifications to comBuf.h and I have 
just committed the change to CONFIG.Common.osf-alpha.  As to your 
implementation of epicsVsnprintf() we do not think this is necessary, since 
osf-alpha is not the only target architecture that suffers from this 
particular problem and .  I have modified the text in the Application 
Developers Guide that describes these two functions to make it clear that the 
return value is not guaranteed.  I may take out the return value tests from 
the libCom/test/epicsStdioTest.c program too.

We already fixed the problem with the version number that affected both darwin 
and WIN32, which was caused by my putting the "-pre1" part in the wrong 
variable in CONFIG_BASE_VERSION.  We have taken steps to ensure that this 
shouldn't happen in the future, and it shouldn't have been an issue in 
the -RC1 release.
